Title:Decoherence effects in the quantum qubit flip game using Markovian approximation

Abstract: We are considering a quantum version of the penny flip game, whose
implementation is influenced by the environment that causes decoherence of the
system. In order to model the decoherence we assume Markovian approximation of
open quantum system dynamics. We focus our attention on the phase damping,
amplitude damping and amplitude raising channels. Our results show that the
Pauli strategy is no longer a Nash equilibrium under decoherence. We attempt to
optimize the players' control pulses in the aforementioned setup to allow them
to achieve higher probability of winning the game compared to the Pauli
strategy.
